TACTILE SWITCHES THE NEXT GENERATION

MICON 5 VERSATILE. DURABLE. The new MICON 5 SL series is the answer to applications in which the tactile switches are actuated frequently. With a operating life of up to ten million actuation cycles, the MICON 5 SL (sealed & extended lifetime) is ideal for use in joysticks or other operating devices that are subject to particularly high stresses. The SL variants are available in SMT and with two different actuation forces.

MICON 5 SAFETY COMPACT. DUAL CHANNEL. SAFE. The MICON 5 SAFETY not only integrates the outstanding features of the MICON 5 S, such as the extended temperature range and the possibility of potting, dip coating or conformal coating, in the smallest possible space, it also has two isolated normally closed and normally open contacts. With these features it is worldwide unique in this size, because the dimensions and also the compatibility to the MICON accessories program remain unchanged. These features enable a particularly economical and space saving design for applications that are developed...

RACON ST VARIABLE. ROBUST. The RACON ST fits into your operating system as if it were tailor-made. The product family offers the right tactile switch for every project: The RACON  ST and 8  RACON  ST series differ in their dimensions and 12  operating forces. SMT as well as THT versions are available for both. RACON ST - particularly robust Like the MICON 5 S, the RACON ST (sealed & extended temperature) is also sealed and can be used on printed circuit boards, which are made robust against environmental influences or contamination by potting, dip coating or conformal coating. Thanks to its...

MEDIA ROBUST ELECTRONICS CONSISTENT. ROBUST. DURABLE. In order to become robust against environmental influences such as condensation or contamination, there are various ways to protect the printed circuit board. In this context, our customers and also we at RAFI often rely on potting, dip coating or conformal coating of entire circuit board assemblies. There were always challenges with the previous tactile switches, because they were not designed for the application of such circuit board protection methods. We have optimized this and offer a new generation of MICONs and RACONs that are...

DIP COATING Dip coating is usually applied in an immersion process in which the assembled circuit board is immersed in a basin. The coating material has the task of penetrating into every corner of the assembly in order to provide the best possible protection for the circuit board. A thin layer of just 400 nm is sufficient here to reliably protect the electronics from malfunctions and moisture. For the tatcile switches, on the other hand, it is a great challenge to resist this coating – but MICON as well as RACON are ideally suited for exactly this purpose. Conformal coating protection...

QUALITY AND APPLICATION RELIABLE. TRACEABLE. UNIVERSAL. CONTINUOUS MONITORING We leave nothing to chance in the production of our tactile switches. MICON and RACON are manufactured in high-performance automatic machines at our location in Germany. Continuous monitoring of the process steps via camera systems guarantees compliance with our quality standards. 100 % INSPECTION Our tactile switches are characterized by their tactility. Here we leave nothing to chance. The force-travel characteristic is tested for each tactile switch, thus ensuring consistent tactility and quality. TRACEABILITY...

OPERATING WORLDWIDE Hardly visible, but strongly noticeable. Our tactile switches have already been in reliable use for many years. Numerous applications demonstrate their versatility – and the success story continues. Every day, new projects are added in which MICON and RACON have been able to convince.
